The following gives an outline of the LewBurgess's metals to assist you.

Platinum

A white metal, platinum is one of the most popular for both wedding bands and engagement rings. With a more "grey" finish than white gold, diamonds can seem even more sparkling in comparison, and the metal will acquire a duller patina over time, which is seen as desirable. Unlike white gold, platinum does not require re-plating every few years.

White Gold

White gold wedding rings are available in 9 carat and 18 carat purity levels. While all white gold is an alloy - composed of yellow gold mixed with nickel, manganese, or palladium- 18 carat white gold offers around 75% pure gold, alongside a really bright, lustrous finish, which is part of the reason why it's so desirable.

Silver

A simple, refined, and understated choice, silver has much to recommend it when compared to other materials. With the same cool, glossy tones as white gold, a silver wedding ring offers a polished and durable piece of jewellery which is extremely similar in appearance to much more costly metals. Many people appreciate the way that it ages, too, burnishing from daily wear at a faster rate than other ring types.

Sterling silver is made up of copper and 92.5 per cent silver, with the copper adding an extra level of durability to the overall metal. This is incredibly useful for jewellery that is designed to be worn for long periods of time, such as a wedding band. It's a low-maintenance metal too, as simply wearing silver regularly means that the metal keeps its lustre.

Palladium

This is a relatively new metal to the wedding ring market and is a softer member of the platinum metal family. It shares the same natural white finish and hypoallergenic qualities, but it is considerably less dense. Because of this, palladium can be crafted into finer pieces of jewellery, and can hold heavier stones than gold or platinum rings.

Palladium is also extremely scratch-resistant and durable, making it the perfect metal for busy people who use their hands a lot in their work. Like platinum, it's also nickel-free and hypoallergenic, and the two metals are extremely similar in appearance.

Yellow Gold

Warm, yellow gold is the traditional metal of choice for both wedding rings. Prized above other precious metals, gold's emotional and financial worth is evident in the language. Yellow gold wedding rings are available in 9 carat and 18 carat purity levels. 

For a really classic, romantic look, it's hard to find a metal to surpass yellow gold. The honey-coloured tones of this precious metal set clear diamonds off to perfection, while slim golden bands are often the first thing that comes to mind when we picture marriage.

Rose Gold

Rose gold is often used as an accent metal, although the radiance of its colour means that it's also an excellent choice for an entire ring as it shows off diamonds to perfection. Rose gold wedding rings are available in 9 carat and 18 carat purity levels. 

Thanks to rose gold's high purity levels and low reactivity, it doesn't tarnish, and is a relatively low-maintenance precious metal. It gains its pink tones from the addition of copper, rather than nickel, making it less likely to cause skin irritation than white gold.
